Kewpies

Will Eisner, the legendary cartoonist behind The Spirit, brought his signature wit and expressive linework to this lighthearted, single-issue comic from 1949. Featuring the iconic, rosy-cheeked Kewpie dolls—originally created by Rose O'Neill as illustrations and later as beloved toys—the book offers a charming glimpse into mid-century humor and Eisner's versatility beyond crime and adventure. Though it stands alone as a one-shot, Kewpies is a delightful footnote in Eisner's career, showcasing his ability to infuse even the simplest premise with warmth and visual storytelling flair.
